it during a time of personal growth. It was assembled in 2005,
before I started designing fabric for Andover Fabrics and while I
was building confi dence as a quilt designer. I remember I couldn’t
fi nd the exact color I wanted for the leaves so I hand-dyed vintage
linen tablecloths and cotton pillowcases. I added layers of chenille
texture to separate the vertical fl ower rows.
I made the quilt with the help of friends Lesa Dailey, who assisted
with freezer-paper preparation, and Becky Cogan, who did the
machine appliqué. It is a joy to create with friends!Renee Nanneman
